Hi,

Have you checked to see if your cooler is plugged into the mobo correctly both mechanically onto the cooling plate and also electronically for the fan control?

Might need to be removed, cleaned and replaced if there's been some degradation of thermal paste for example.

If you're not confident doing that yourself I'd suggest giving PCS a call to book an RMA.
